The 472cc mill that powered the CR480R was about as simple as a motor could get. It was a straightforward, reed-valve, air-cooled single, fed by a 38mm round slide Keihin carb. The motor lacked any sort of exhaust trickery or power valve, but had no trouble yanking your arms out by the sockets. Power was all low-to-mid with a healthy hit and quick turnover. Top-end power was completely non-existent, so short shifting was the best way to make the most of its potent delivery.
